Delhi's air quality to be relatively better till new year

December 29, 2015 19:56

The residents of Delhi can look forward to usher in the new year with a relatively better air quality that is expected to be 'moderate' to 'very poor',

largely due to favourable weather conditions.

The news may come as a relief to the Delhi government, whose 'odd-even' car rationing experiment is set to be rolled out from January 1. Less cars on road coupled with such weather conditions will lessen pollution considerably.

The System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research has forecast that suspended particulate matter PM10 would touch a "new low" of the season in the next three days and settle in the moderate category.
